It is better to travel hopefully ...

The Notwane Valley is at its best this morning. Rain-washed, bird-songed and breezily happy. There's no reason to leave.

Just as there was no apparent reason to leave Minchin & Kelly (Botswana) after more than twenty fascinating, challenging and rewarding years of doing attorney impressions, Mondays to Fridays. No reason at all, other than it is time for us all to grow again. The farewells were tough but so very real; and we'll all meet again. Next year in Gaborone.

Whether or not I have the opportunity and inclination to maintain this blog over the next two months remains to be seen. The real record of the journey into the sunrises will be in my scribble books but this may be a more efficient way of keeping in touch with those who are interested.

Dicky Diederichs splits the air
again, again, again.
Woodpecker klaps that tree
again, again, again.
At each new sunrise, I'll think of them
again, again, again.
